I'll probably wait until the first season is almost over and start bing watching it illegally, the same way I did with Better Call Saul and The Expanse... These cable networks need to come up with cheaper online a la carte solutions if they want to get my money -- this shit adds up quick! (which is probably the point; it eventually becomes cheaper just to get cable...)

For comparison:

Netflix: $10/month (Stranger Things, BoJack Horseman, Black Mirror, Master of None, The OA, Bloodline, House of Cards, Sense8, Narcos, With Bob & Dave, Daredevil/Jessica Jones/Luke Cage/Iron Fist/The Defenders)

HBO Now: $15/month (Game of Thrones, Westworld, True Detective, The Leftovers, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, Vice Principals, Animals... Plus older shows like The Wire, The Sopranos, Flight of the Concords, Deadwood, Eastbound & Down, Band of Brothers/The Pacific, etc.)

Amazon Prime: $11/month (The Man in the High Castle) + Starz: $10/month (American Gods) = $21/month for just 2 shows??

Nah...
Mad Dogs and Sneaky Pete are good Prime shows. They also have some older seasons of cable shows. I watched season one of the Expanse on prime, then had to go the illegal route to watch most of season two, because the syfy app only had the last five episodes available.
